Dog Walking South Norfolk

“Morgan was so easy to work with and such a kind individual! This is my first time using a dog walking service. My dog is very shy and timid in nature, but Morgan was very calm and patient with him and also very reassuring towards me regarding my concerns with his fearfulness. Will certainly use her again in the future!”

Abrielle M.

“Bella was great. Always gave me great feedback which helped me realize my dog had a UTI. She was flexible when it came to my schedule”

About: Ive been in the veterinary field for 10+ years and have plenty of experience with dogs and cats. Im comfortable with everything from basic care like feeding or walking, to oral/injectable medication administration I work full time monday-Thursday. I can do check-ins during my lunch break and have no problems staying the night. I have 2 cats of my own who get routine healthcare. My cats are water fountains that are filled daily along with automatic timers to be fed. While I dont personally have a dog right now, i’ve grown up with a variety of breeds from whippits to german shepherds. I’m well aware each pet needs different approaches to trust and care and am more than willing to work with your pet how ever it needs

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience working in animal shelters, dog daycare centers, and boarding facilities. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. After recently losing my beloved dogs, I realized I wasn't quite ready for another long-term commitment, but I deeply missed having dogs around. Rover has given me the perfect opportunity to open my home and heart to dogs while helping other pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm a stay-at-home mom, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I also have two cats who grew up with dogs and are comfortable sharing their space, as well as two young children who have been around dogs their entire lives and know how to interact respectfully with them. For the comfort and safety of every pet in my care, I only accept dogs from one household at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention and create a calm, stress-free environment during their stay. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. My mornings typically begin with feeding pets, potty breaks, walks, or playtime before my family's daily activities start. Because I am home most of the day, pets receive frequent attention, supervision, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. Throughout the day, I can accommodate additional potty breaks, outdoor time in our fenced yard, feeding schedules, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and enrichment. In the evenings, pets are included in our family's relaxed routine, with more playtime, walks, and cuddles before bedtime. For boarding and daycare, dogs are rarely left unattended, and I only accept pets from one household at a time to ensure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I care for every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. Dogs have access to our large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and because I am home throughout the day, they receive consistent attention and companionship. I only care for dogs from one household at a time, which allows me to focus on their individual needs and maintain a low-stress environment. For cats, I ensure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and attention at their comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having a quiet and reliable caretaker, I respect their personality and routine. I am also comfortable following special instructions, administering medications when needed, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have either had one or two dogs while an adult. I am familiar with administering medications and would love to have the opportunity to care for your fur babies! I also have experience with caring for cats and have many satisfied customer reviews in addition to my positive dog care reviews. I always do a meet and greet before each pet sit to make sure we are a good match and for the safety of all parties. My schedule is open, and I am available to work during the week, on weekends and holidays. I look forward to helping you with all your pet needs while they stay in the comfort of their own home. I provide care for your pets in your home. Pets love the familiarity of their own surroundings. You can trust me to give the utmost care to your furry family members!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have always loved animals of all kinds. My experience includes caring for cats and dogs, and I grew up with other animals such as hamsters and tortoises, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different pets’ needs, personalities, and routines. I’ve cared for pets at many stages of life and I understand that every animal is unique, and I take the time to learn their individual preferences, routines, and boundaries so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether your pet needs active play sessions, walks, feedings according to a specific routine, or simply some extra companionship, I’m happy to provide attentive and dependable care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being! I'm currently working full-time so my availability is limited to hours outside of 9-5 on Mondays through Fridays and weekends, although I can provide walks at lunchtime. My availability tends to be quite open on weekends. I live in an apartment complex so I do not have a private fenced in yard, but there are plenty of parks and open spaces near my home in which I can provide plenty of walking and exercise.

“Erin was friendly, reliable, and always respectful of both my needs and my dogs' routines while I was recovering from surgery. It was such a relief knowing my boy was in caring, dependable hands during a challenging time. I'm very grateful for her help and would happily use Erin’s services again.”

“Tiffany took great care of my Bella . Always on time for the walks and communicated everything . Really appreciated her working through the holiday .”

About: I have been taking car of all kinds of dogs for years. I've watched dogs from Labrador puppies to senior German Shepards. I've owned dogs my whole life and I've always had a special bond with them. Dogs usually gravitate towards me because I am a very fun and light hearted person. My friends often refer to me as a Disney princess because of how I am with animals. I belive all animals need love and respect and I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I am a nanny for a mother of three during the day but I am usually only needed two or three days a week so my weekends are completely free. Even days when I watch my kids I am off by 3pm and can spend evenings with the pets. I have several dogs of my own so my house is fully equipped with w fenced in yard and my house is pet safe. In regards to a clients home I would of course check what the client has in place but as a pet owner I am also aware pets can be sneaky and love to get into mischief. I am always checking on clients pets making sure they are safe and not getting into things they shouldn't. I am also certified in pet cpr and massage therapy incase a pet does get into distress or if they need some other help with pain. Over all my priority is always the health and safety of my client beloved pets.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. My first actual pet I got to call my own was a cockapoo puppy named Duke, he was my first lap dog too. However, don’t let my baby fool you I have also had hounds that screamed and ran across the yard and the house. I am experienced with cats and dogs with special needs to. My grandmothers and friends animals all have had dietary or medical needs that I never mind having to help take care of. My passion is loving animals and making sure they live a happy life. Trust that your fur baby will be in safe and caring hands. I am just recently out of the military working as a kitchen supervisor on city cruises. It can get boring and lonely, so I have decided on my free time to give my services to those who might need someone to pop their head in and check on their babies or fully stay if needed. I have an apartment that is in a fenced in area in Portsmouth Va. I’m open to any sized dog and will take them out as much as they would need. I live near a park and that’s where I would walk your special. If you have a loving feline you can trust I will not book them with any canines for their mental health and safety unless you have two pets out more that have lived together I will not take in more than one animal at a time.

“Wow- Marcia not only impressed us with her quick and effective communication, but also her impression as a responsible confident Dog Walker! We will definitely be using her again!”

Laura D.

“She was great with my dog and sent lots of pictures! She was very flexible and helpful every step of the process! I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and love caring for them as if they are my children. I've had puppies to senior dogs who have passed on, so I am very comfortable with any stage in a dog's life. I treat my dogs like my own children and I know how difficult it can be to find someone who cares for your pets the same way you do, but I promise you that I will care for your pets in the same way I care for my own! I am currently not working, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet(s). Whenever you need me, I will be there. I am comfortable doing whatever you need me to do in order to take care of your pets. I can give your pets any medications they might need as well as tender loving care.

“Alyssa was flexible with our crazy Navy scheduling and constantly sent funny/cute pictures of our pup while she let him out around lunch. Would highly recommend!! She will love your pup as much as you do!!”

About: Big or Small, Special Needs and All—A Sniff Adventure Awaits! ​Hi, I'm Frankie! Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent my entire life raising and caring for pets of every shape and size—from cats and dogs ranging from tiny to extra-large. ​My home is currently run by a wonderful, chaotic crew of four: ​Merc: My fluffy cat who rightfully considers himself the king of the house. ​My Energetic Pitty: A sweet, high-energy powerhouse who keeps life exciting. ​My Two Special Needs Pups: One who is completely blind, and another with neurological challenges. ​Why Choose Me? ​Living with special needs pets means "cautious and attentive" isn't just a tagline for me—it's my daily reality. I have deep experience and endless patience when it comes to walking blind dogs and pups who have trouble navigating or walking in a straight line. ​Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete who needs a solid workout, a delicate senior who wants a slow, gentle stroll, or a special needs pup who requires extra vigilance and a patient hand, I’ve got you covered. I treat every single animal with the same customized care, safety, and love that I give my own. ​I can't wait to meet your furry family member and take them on their next great sniff adventure! I am currently a full-time graduate student finishing up my master's degree. Because my studies allow for a highly flexible schedule, I have plenty of open availability throughout the workweek to drop in and walk your pups while you are at the office. Treating Your Furry Family Like My Very Own In my own home, I take extreme care of my pets. Living with special needs animals and a high-energy pit bull means safety, structure, and deep attentiveness are built into my daily routine. I bring that exact same level of high-standard, vigilant care to your home and your pets.

About: I'm a remote voice actor with a flexible schedule, so your pets get lots of companionship—not just quick drop-ins. As a longtime homeowner and property manager, I also understand the importance of keeping your home clean, secure, and well cared for. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, including energetic breeds, senior pets, multi-pet households, and pets with unique routines. I'm comfortable with crate training, positive reinforcement, basic medications, and dogs that need a little extra patience on walks. Whether it's a long hike, a game of fetch, or a quiet afternoon with a cuddly cat, I adapt to each pet's personality and routine. Clear communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates and photos while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your pets and home are in great hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely as a voice actor, so I have the flexibility to schedule walks, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day rather than trying to fit them around a traditional office schedule. I genuinely enjoy being active, so daily walks, hikes, and outdoor time are something I look forward to. When I'm home, I like providing a calm, consistent environment where pets can stick to their normal routines and get plenty of attention and companionship. Whether it's a quick neighborhood walk, a game of fetch, or simply keeping a cat company while I work, I enjoy making pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medications (if needed), and any training or household guidelines you provide. I believe pets are happiest when their daily routine stays consistent. Since I work remotely, I'm home much of the day, giving pets plenty of companionship and reducing the amount of time they're left alone. Whether it's long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping a cat company while I work, I adjust my care to each pet's personality and needs. I also treat every home with the same respect I would my own—keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets and home are in good hands.

About: I am a devoted pet parent and caretaker. I have had many childhood pets including the care of family/family friends animals. I have 8 years of experienced pet care. My responsibilities include; administering medication (not including injections or rectal administration), providing fresh food/water, and maintaining a safe exciting environment! My life is mostly revolved around my cats, dog and hamster! I currently am a part time student unemployed. My schedule is very flexible, so I have much free time to care and keep company for your critters! I always ensure certain items stay stationary especially when they are fragile or toxic to my own and clients pets! Dogs/cats are quite curious so I’ve developed an extra set of eyes for their tomfoolery. Most importantly to gain the trust and comfort of your pets I typically greet them while sitting on the floor, so they aren’t intimidated and can sniff away!

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds for about 10 years and always make sure they are comfortable while their family is away. I have experience providing medications as well as insulin injections for elderly diabetic dogs. I have recently adopted a dog of my own, Maxx, who is a 1 year old lab mix. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play, but also enjoys his naps and relaxation. I currently work M-F 8-5 so I do not accept all booking requests during the week. My weekends are usually wide open and allow me much more time and freedom to go on walks and regularly take pets out for potty breaks. I do not have a yard at my apartment but I love to be active by taking walks or going on runs, especially when the weather is nice! I have a dog of my own that I crate during the day and have cared for dogs that crate or roam throughout the day.

About: I have five years of pet-sitting and house-sitting experience as a form of income, but I have been a pet owner and lover of animals for my entire life! Friends, neighbors, and colleagues have hired me by word of mouth, so pleased with the level of care I provide to their home and/or fur-baby. I currently work full-time, Mon-Fri with late afternoon (starting at 3pm) and full weekend availability. I have two cats that I love and care for with all my heart. While I make coffee, I obey their need for a morning treat and roll up the window blinds so they can watch the birds as the sun rises. Our morning routine. I go to work, come home, and give them all of my attention. I care for my clients’ pets in their preferred way, with whatever is relayed to me. Then I always add a little extra love and care. I make sure to know any allergies, places or animals to avoid on walks, and preferred discipline strategies. When I am house-sitting, I follow the instructions handed to me while being sure to make it seem as though I was never there upon my departure. Clean, cozy, and better than when you left it.

“Reyna is a phenomenal rover. Her professionalism and keen attention to detail is unmatched when dealing with my fur buddy. When I mention his rover is on the way soon, his excitement is out the roof. If you're looking for a committed rover, that communicates extremely well, ensures your fur baby is safe, and makes your life unbelievably easier. Reyna is definitely the one 🙌🏾🙌🏾”
